RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Defending Democracy
Defending democracy is a fulltime job
It cannot be taken for granted
Its enemies will cheat and rob
Make sure your staff is planted
They’re coming after the voting place
They’re sending out their brutes
They’ll make it hard to win the race
They’re thugs in designer suits
They’ll attack anyone who opposes them
From the powerful to the local mayor
They’ll rip you up from root to stem
If you ask them, they don’t care
Stealing the vote is an old tradition
On both sides of the aisle
Every voter must now take a position
Is democracy still in style?
The right to vote is no longer given
The Supreme Court gave it away
We must be grim and hardline driven
To keep what our founders gave
